    Not all efforts in nostalgia end in success, but with Nex Machina, Housemarque has crafted a fast and fun twin-stick shooter with crisp visuals and challenging gameplay. Flawed only by a problematic mouse adaptation, Nex Machina is a solid execution of a gaming genre staple that promises long nights with guns blazing (instead of sleep).

Канонически сложная и суетливая аркадная машина (а последний босс, он трудный самый): откидывает все заигрывания с апгрейдами, обвесами из вторичого оружия, комбо и оставляет вас один на один с экшоном и таблицей достижений. Это также из тех редких, по нынешним временам, игр, которая с удовольствием вам покажет "Game Over" и даст пинка к первому уровню. Ностальгия прям.… Full Review »

I know they're going for an "arcade feel," but there's some things best left in the 80s. You're not asking me for quarters, you shouldn't ask me to start over every time I want to play. Hard Pass.… Full Review »
